Captain America: Civil War Faces Challenges Villains & Changes!!!
When Marvel announced they were adapting the 2006 miniseries Civil War for the third Captain America movie, fans were understandably intrigued but Captain America: Civil War Faces Challenges Villains & Changes.
If you are familiar with Captain America then you know the Civil War original story was a massive event that had enormous consequences for the entire Marvel universe.
What does that mean for Marvel universe? CelebNMusic247.com has this update of what Challenges & Changes are happening with Captain America: Civil War.
The movie will NOT incorporate all aspects of the mini series, instead it will be on a smaller scale. It’s been “affectionately” nicknamed Avengers 2.5 due to its large cast, despite The Hulk being cut from Captain America: Civil War, the film the focus will be primarily on Steve Rogers since this remains a Captain America franchise movie.
There are some HUGE changes Marvel will have to make in order for the film to work within the confines of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These range from leaving out characters (The Hulk, Daredevil, Thor, Cyclops, The Fantastic Four, Nitro or Speedball) since the studio can’t legally use to changing the reasons for the superhero conflict kicking off. Stories are rarely 100% the same when adapted into movies/television shows, and in Civil War’s case, a lot is going to be adjusted or outright eliminated.
The First major change in Civil War is that the secret identities of the superheros will NOT be revealed like in the original story of the mini series. Instead Captain America: Civil War is focusing less on the implications of telling the government who you really are and more on the heroes other superhumans being regulated by a governing body. Of the heroes that have officially been announced for the film, Spider-Man is the only one who would be negatively impacted by an unmasking. That said, since his solo movie is arriving in 2017, it’s highly unlikely his secret identity will be exposed to the public like it was in the comics.

As for the other major changes to the upcoming Captain America: Civil War film CelebNMusic247.com has this report via CinemaBlend:
You can thank reality TV for kicking off the original Civil War story. When a team of young superheroes called the New Warriors attempted to apprehend a group of villains on camera in Stamford, Connecticut, things went horribly wrong. After a short battle, the super villain Nitro unleashed his explosive powers and wiped out several city blocks. The only survivors were Nitro himself and the hero Speedball, whose used his super speed to barely escape the explosion. The public was already leery towards superhumans after several previous incidents, but the Stamford tragedy pushed things over the edge and led the government to take action. Fortunately, the reality TV angle has been scrapped in Captain America: Civil War, and the heroes connected the inciting incident will be ones we already know from previous films. So far, all that’s been revealed so far is that during an international incident involving Captain America and the Avengers, there will be massive collateral damage. It’s hard to say who’s responsible, though we suspect Crossbones may play a part.
Thanks to 20th Century Fox still holding the rights to the X-Men, we won’t get to see any mutant issues pop up in Captain America: Civil War. That means no Cyclops in Civil War. Instead you can watch Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to learn that the number of Inhumans is growing and emerging across the globe. The film is primarily focused on how these new regulations will affect the Avengers, but depending on how Season 3 unfolds, we could see the government take action against normal people who suddenly find themselves with abilities. Basically, the Inhumans would be cemented as the MCU’s mutants, discrimination and all.
Like Hulk, Thor will suffer the same fate of no appearing in Civil War. Unfortunately Thor will sit out Captain America: Civil War. After seeing those freaky visions in Avengers: Age of Ultron, he’s back in Asgard investigating the Infinity Stones and trying to figure out the danger that will soon strike Asgard. Which means, Chris Hemsworth will not show up in the 2016 blockbuster at all. That means we also won’t be seeing Ragnarok, the rogue Thor clone Tony Stark unleashed against the anti-registration team in the comics. Ragnarok is best remembered for taking things too far by killing Bill Foster, a.k.a. Giant Man. Basically, the only Ragnarok we’ll be seeing in the MCU is the apocalyptic event that’s been foretold to destroy all the Asgardians, unless we’ve been mislead.
Thanks to a tragic Fantastic Four reboot, there will be no negative zone since the writer changed the whole concept to a zero planet, which was utterly stupid on his part. He NOT only ruined the concept of crossover, he annihilated the idea of the Fantastic Four being part of Civil War and here is why.
The Fantastic Four found themselves split when it comes to the Superhuman Registration Act was passed. Mister Fantastic was a prominent member of the pro-registration side, the Invisible Woman and Human Torch eventually joined the anti-registration resistance group, and The Thing didn’t get involved with either side. More importantly, Mister Fantastic worked with Iron Man and Hank Pym to build a prison in the Negative Zone that housed non-registered heroes. But thanks to a poorly written reboot and not consulting Stan Lee, the Fantastic Four is OUT. We can blame 20th Century Fox, since they threw a wrench into the works by owning the film rights to the Fantastic Four, which also means they have the Negative Zone (though they opted for Planet Zero in the reboot). So, if and when someone who doesn’t register with the governing bodies gets captured in Captain America: Civil War, they’re going to be incarcerated in another facility. Granted, Tony Stark can probably create a unique and secure prison, but it’s not as cool as one located in an alternate dimension.
As for a villain in Civil War, here is what’s happening:
The original Civil War was a story told in shades of grey. There was no clear hero or villain; whether you rooted for Iron Man’s team or Captain America’s depended on your personal beliefs. Each side made good points and each side made mistakes. That will be the same in Captain America: Civil War, leaving it up to the audience to decide who they agree with more. However, because this is still a Captain America movie, there will be a sinister force at work to give the audience someone to hate.
We know Crossbones will be in Civil War, but for Captain America 3 aka Civil War, the main villain in the 2016 blockbuster will be Baron Zemo, played by Daniel Brühl. Marvel has been cagey about how exactly he’ll antagonize the Star Spangled Avenger, but we wouldn’t be surprised if he is somehow working behind the scenes against the heroes by getting the world’s governments to pass registration. There was a gradual buildup to Civil War in the comics, but since the MCU is still relatively young, Zemo may be the catalyst for accelerating this conflict.
Here is a little more detail for you Captain America heads:
Despite reports last year that Crossbones played by Frank Grillo would be Captain America: Civil War’s primary antagonist, it now appears that particular honor belongs to Zemo.
Elizabeth Olsen, now well-known to audiences as Scarlet Witch, confirmed this with French outlet Premiere, and she also explained why Baron Zemo is a more unique villain compared to Avengers: Age of Ultron’s eponymous antagonist. Olsen said:
“Daniel Brühl is an incredible actor and he’s playing the main villain in it. And he’s incredible! It’s a movie about people as opposed to robots this time. So it’s darker and it’s allowed to be darker because it gets more in the mindset of humans rather than machines.”
It was reported last month that the conflict between the superheroes in Captain America: Civil War will spark following an incident involving Crossbones.
We’ll find out what nefarious scheme Baron Zemo is plotting when Captain America: Civil War is released on May 6, 2016.
